There is an abundance of it in the south like Georgia. To call them cousins is putting it nicely. There are many children of multiple marriage parents who continue to make children with each consecutive marriage. Before you know it they are all related thru the marriages and are in some form or another related. I recently stayed in a small town down there and I couldn't believe how many people all had the same last name and they resemble each other. I have been to other states but I have seen it more prevalent in Georgia and Mississippi.

it is not healthy for the baby as the blood is same and could produce a dissabled child, in uk the royals used to marry cousins hense we had a lot of princes that never lived past baby hood all to do with the genes, darling , dont know about the south, but here in uk it is frowned upon, maybe it is just chatters saying that dwon south , but some times they are just lucky and dont have a miscarrage as that happens as well

I'm from the south(Atlanta,GA) and I don't understand why people say that at all. I have NEVER seen that happen nor have I heard of anybody doing that.

What is wrong with marrying your cousin. God has allowed that
